I'm at 19. But there's about 10 that I've been to and can't remember...Newark has a weird one, Detroit, Ronald Reagan, one in Japan, Don Meung in Thailand, Hong Kong, 2 in Vietnam.
50

MSY has to be the weirdest, followed by IAD

EZE is also an odd one

Seems like they could have updated from Moisant Stock Yards by now.

Moisant stock yard or something like that. I had to look it up because I thought is was because of Mississippi River.

Probably 2000.
But that is what I do for a living.
And yes......most dont make sense.

Not if you know the origin of the name, to poster below EZE is from Ezeiza, the name of the airport

Over 10, probably 15

IAD was orignally DIA but back in the handwritten days it was confused for DCA. MSY is for Moisant Stock Yards. Interestingly enough, the Lakefront is NEW.
US is easy with ICAO (KMSY vs MSY) is much easier than Europe (EGLL vs LHR or LFPG vs CDG).
To answer your questions, well over 200+ I could rattle of the top of my head.
My favorite story is when the lady sued American Airlines for putting "FAT" on her tag. She was flying to the Freson Air Terminal.

I've always assumed it was International Airport-Dulles, and IAH being a similar format. It's interesting, though, how neither Reagan nor Dulles ended up with WDC.
MCI (Kansas City) is one of the hardest to remember

Yeah and the website is flymsy.com
I always pronounce it "flimsy" when I read it

Posted on 6/26/23 at 1:19 pm to PeteRose
I got to 16.
MCI is a weird one too.

All of the domestic hubs and some of the regional airports.
I travel a lot.

A bunch. My previous employer used airport codes for device labeling in all of our 30+ offices.
Plus all the international ones I know due to my time in the Army overseas.
